1 HIMT 360 Healthcare II: Survey of Disease and Treatment Instructor Name Course Description This course further investigates the topics covered in HIMT 330 Health Care I. On the basis of each body system, the course will further expand into the topics of human disease, human health issues, and classification of disease/health issues. Diagnostics, treatment and clinical procedures that are currently in practice. In addition, the course will incorporate pharmacotherapeutic concepts (drugs and therapies to treat/prevent/control human disease/health issues), investigating the variety of drugs used for disease treatment for each body system. This will include the current biologicals that are used for treatment. Topics will include how the drugs and biologicals work, their limitations, and the current diversity of available drugs and biologicals. Prerequisite: HIMT 330 Healthcare I: Terminology and Body Systems Course Learning Objectives At the end of this course, the student will be able to: Explain hundreds of terms and concepts related to human disease. Apply knowledge of human disease terms to current healthcare issues. HIM Curriculum Competencies While not addressing any competencies directly, the course provides critical foundation knowledge for the program's management courses and prepares students for health care management and administration courses at the master s degree level. Course Materials Required Text:

2 Additionally, the course material will be drawn from assigned reading, videos, podcasts and website content. Course Activities Problem Sets The bulk of your activity and grade for the course involves completing problem sets based on your reading of The Nature of Disease and your comprehension of video lectures. Each of the 22 sessions of the course requires you to complete problem sets. These problem sets are found in the form of quizzes, which are found under the Quizzes menubar above. Typically, there are three quizzes that form a problem set for a session. The first quiz is a check on your recall or remembrance of key terms, the second quiz is a check on your understanding of the session's contents, and the third quiz is focused on your application of the session's contents. The quizzes within a session total up to 20 points, and there are 22 sessions in the course. ICD-9 Assignments Use an on-line ICD-9 data base to identify the code for a disease. Identify the following components. The goals and additional details will be presented when you choose your topics. 1. You will have a choice of diseases to search during a period early in the semester. You will be responsible for ICD-9 characterization of those diseases. 2. Use the search option to find the Disease and Code. 3. Select sub-options, open the options. 4. Record the following information a. Code and Disease Name b. List of subsets of the disease with codes c. Open each option and record the following 1. Disease Name 2. Characteristics of the disease 5. Submit your data sheet

3 Example Your assignment is to identify codes for Acute Appendicitis. a. Code and Disease Name 540 Acute Appendicitis b. List of subsets of the disease with codes Acute appendicitis with generalized peritonitis Acute Appendicitis with peritoneal abscess Acute Appendicitis without peritoneal abscess c. Open each option and record the following 1. Disease Name Acute appendicitis with generalized peritonitis 2. Characteristics of the disease None given Ruptured appendix Appendicitis with perforation Ruptured cecum with peritonitis Gangrenous appendicitis with perforation Cecitis with perforation and peritonitis Fulminating Appendicitis with perforation Obstructive appendicitis with perforation 1. Disease Name Acute Appendicitis with peritoneal abscess 2. Characteristics of the disease None given Continue with all identified diagnoses 1. Disease Name Acute Appendicitis without peritoneal abscess 2. Characteristics of the disease None given Continue with all identified diagnoses ICD-9 Sign-up Sheet You will have to select one topic for your ICD Sheets. It will record your name and the item you selected for the instructor.

4 To access the sign-up sheet, click More Tools in the bar above, and then choose Surveysin the list of options. How to Find My Comments on Your Work To see the feedback on your assignments and quizzes, please look over these instructions. Late Work Policy There will be a penalty for late work. Point deductions will follow this schedule: 10% deduction (the best you can earn is 90%) if your work is submitted any time after the 5:00pm deadline. 20% deduction if your work is submitted after 11:59pm that day. 100% deduction if your work is submitted after midnight the following day (31 hours late). Of course there are exceptions. I will grant waivers from point deductions under the following circumstances. 1. You send me a request for waiver no later than 11:59 am of the day of the deadline. To do this you must: a. You make a request for a waiver by , b. State your reason for needing an extension. (I am not obligated to accept your reason as sufficient to earn a waiver) c. Propose a deadline for completing your work. (I might counter your proposal.) 2. You are in the hospital, and you contact me to make arrangements to adjust your personal deadline schedule. Please let me know if you have any questions. Course Outline Session 1: Introduction & the Nature of Disease Session 2: Measuring Disease Session 3: Cell Damage

Requirements for ICD Sheets will be posted on D2L. Grades in the course will be determined solely by performance on exams and points awarded for the completion of problem sets (aka homework). This is how the required work in the course will be weighted: Problem Sets (20 pts. x 22) 440 ICD Sheets (10 pts. x 3) 30 Total 470 Grading Scale % A
